From North Carolina's Pines to Asia's capitals

Southern Foundations

Expatriate Tension

Full-Time Fiction

Grounded in Goldsboro, North Carolina, with academic grounding earned through degrees at Appalachian State University and the University of the Incarnate Word.

Years spent teaching within university lecture halls across Daegu and Fukuoka, absorbing the quiet etiquette and tactical silences that define modern statecraft.

Returning to the page to examine how macro-political alliances unravel in hotel corridors and how personal choices carry irreversible weight.

Suspense Born in Quiet Rooms

Living between Deagu and Fukuoka teaches an observer that silence carries as much negotiating power as an ultimatum. The fiction does not rely on armchair research; it draws directly from the friction of foreign classrooms, diplomatic corridors, and the heavy atmosphere of cities balancing ancient traditions against hyper-modern pressure.

Treaties are signed in grand rooms, but they unravel in hotel corridors at two in the morning. That realization forms the backbone of every chapter.
